Woman allegedly wanted to return to China
Reported by Kosmo!, the woman is believed to be a Chinese national.
One individual who claimed to be present during the incident alleged that the woman acted out after discovering she was unable to board a flight due to not having a boarding pass.
For everyone’s information, this Chinese woman jumped from above because she wanted to return to China, but she didn’t have a boarding pass. I was in the video and saw it from below,” the person wrote.
At the time of writing, authorities have yet to confirm the woman’s identity or the actual reason behind the incident.
Witnesses say woman was still able to walk afterward
Another social media user claimed the woman was still able to stand and walk around in a dazed state after falling from the upper level.

Videos circulating online also showed members of the public gathering around the scene shortly after the incident occurred.

Some also criticised the woman’s alleged actions, pointing out that such behaviour could potentially endanger other travellers nearby.
“Almost every day these tourists are causing trouble. Immigration officers must be so exhausted,” one user commented.
Another wrote: “The regulations for them need to be tightened further. Our auxiliary police here are too nice.”
So far, no official statement has been released by KLIA authorities or the police regarding the incident.
